Many people resort to pressing the nap button in the alarm to continue sleeping for a few additional minutes, thinking that it gives them more comfort, but in reality the dependence on the nap button negatively affects the quality of sleep and disrupts the normal sleep cycle, which makes the person wake up tired and not refreshing, so it is important to know the effect of the nap button on sleep to avoid his problems.
The effect of the nap button on the normal sleep cycle
The nap button in the alarm directly affects the sleep cycle that the body goes through during the night, where the sleeper passes through multiple stages of sleep that is repeated every 90 to 120 minutes, including light sleep stages, deep sleep, and fast eye movement (REM), and when pressing the nap button, the person often awakens during the light sleep stage or even deep sleep, which causes disturbance in the normal sleep cycle.
According to a professor of neuroscience, Sanjay Kansjara, a person is sometimes wakes up in the fast eye movement, a stage in which the brain is active and dreams of a person, and waking up at this stage leads to a feeling of confusion and fatigue, if the few minutes that you spend after the nap do not provide deep or refreshing sleep.
Causes of the risk of frequent pressure on the nap button
When a person returns himself to intermittent sleep by pressing the nap button, it restarts the sleep cycle irregularly, which causes confusion in the brain and leads to a feeling of lethargy and confusion when waking up, and this condition is known as self -deficiency during sleep, which is a feeling of dizziness and laziness that affects the person after intermittent sleep, and other problems associated with frequent pressure on the nap button:
- A biological clock disorder that regulates the vital functions of the body, such as blood pressure and temperature.
- Increased feeling of fatigue and exhaustion after waking up.
- A negative effect on focus and mental performance throughout the day.
Tips for improving sleep and avoiding the damage of the nap button
To avoid the effects of the negative nap button on sleep, it is advised to follow the following tips:
- Adjust the alarm on the real time to wake up without postponement.
- Sleep for a long time and appropriate to meet the body’s needs.
- Dependence on a regular sleep routine helps to prepare the body to wake up on time.
- Avoid eating caffeine and stimulants before bed to ensure the quality of sleep.
Dr. Kansjara said that the best option is to control the alarm as much as possible to wake up, which helps to get the most continuous and good sleep, and prevents the need to pressure the nap button multiple times.
